interesting about awesome is, that i could configure everything (i don't need anytime). so for a configuration-freak it might be wonderful, for me not. if i use dwm with conky on the desk, most of my needs are fullfilled...

lots of dependencies that are not installed by default in Puppy + lots of configuration and I was trying to build it with a static uclibc toolchain and it just ended up taking too long to finish it - I really wish autotools (read ./configure) would run all the way through and _then_ tell you _all_ the stuff you are missing ... or if sites would actually list all the dependencies in the first place

Amen to that. I hate tracking own one dep and thinking i'm ready... to only be told about another one... and then being on that yoyo for an hour or so. lol
In the past I've stolen another distros binary and run LDD on it to figure out what it needs... then go back and compile it manually myself. Yea maybe thats cheating... but i dont think anyone is keeping score.

same here, but you can never know what dependencies are optional ... especially if they haven't linked with --as-needed.(then you can use objdump -x <binary> ¦grep NEEDED)
BTW I do this and remove all dependant libs from the final link.
-lgtk........-ldeps..... is replaced with just -lgtk so that if gtk is built without some dep, it will still run and run on more systems and load faster.(though it may be a fraction slower on the system with the exact libs it was linked with)
The easiest way to do this without having to hack it every time, is to simply remove them from the .pc file_________________Check out my github repositories. I may eventually get around to updating my blogspot.

checking vfork.h usability... no
checking vfork.h presence... no
checking for vfork.h... no
checking for fork... yes
checking for vfork... yes
checking for working fork... yes
checking for working vfork... (cached) yes

1. : it really needs the http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libconfuse0
to run which I installed first but ./configure still complained about libconfuse0 at the same point so i had to install the -dev for .h files .

2. : it likes to have a /root/.awesome directory for the awesomerc file
where the pathes from the ./configure --prefix=PREFIX still resides and have to be adjusted from /opt/Awesome/001 to /usr/local/share

3. : it uses the Win key much : modkey = {"Mod4"}

4. : no xload,freememapplet,retrovol,date&time etc in the taskbar

5. : no windowframe at the top of the windows ( no kill menu , etc )

6. : some apps like sakura and geany show a trace while moving around

7. : i am not able for the moment to get the taskbar to the bottom, left or right

8. : the only interesting feature are the different grid possibilities

Some users may not want those things, but most window managers won't run those "tray applets" because 1. They need to be swallowed and 2. They are started from jwm.
There is a bit of a learning curve to tweak the configuration,but you can start with some of the config files posted in the screenshot page._________________Check out my github repositories. I may eventually get around to updating my blogspot.

this should create the menu dir at /usr/local/---/awesome with subdirs and links to the executables without much clutter behind like "rxvt -font 7x14 -bg "#FFFFFF" -fg black -T htop -n htop -e htop"
now it is able to create an entry at .awesomerc like

had to enable every button to get the mouse wheel scrolling backwards going ( 3 normal mouse buttons, 2 thumb mouse buttons , 2 buttons for scrolling forth and back ) and it these have to be done for every little feature of the taskbar as far as I can see.

You can find a guy on youtube using notion on slackware.
I don't think I've ever seen something like this on my Microsoft native homeland. Maybe there is some program that tries to emulate "Tiling, Tabbing, Static"
